Takao Kanko Hotel

Amazing seeing on the river, the authentic rooms were really unique, great deal of hospitality from the staff they were so kind and helpful

The bathrooms are dated and could use an refresh

Everything, location, river view, 100 year old traditional property run by the same family across 4 generations, traditional room, Onsen, food (classic Japanese traditional cuisine), cleanliness, very kind owner, her son and all the staffs. Also to add definitely that they perfectly took care of our non standard dietary requirements.

Nothing, except a minor thing, not sure if that’s part of the tradition though, we felt there could be one full size mirror in the room.

The staff were so so kind and lovely. It was my birthday during the stay and the staff made me origami as a present! The hotel was in such a beautiful location and the food was some of the best we had during our whole holiday. Every meal we had there was exceptional, I would highly recommend including breakfast and dinner in your stay. It was such a relaxing, warming experience and I left feeling uplifted from the kindness and good sense of humour of the staff. There are lovely walks all around the hotel, with lots of temples also very close. It is in such beautiful scenery it was incredible. There was also a free shuttle bus down the mountain which was very helpful. We stayed for 2 nights and wished we stayed for longer!

Nothing!

The Ryokan is a great experience, but this one is very, very, very old. There has not been made any renovation or improvement in at least 30 years. The food was good but very expensive!

Bad smell in the room, I got instant allergies. The bathroom is old and the Onsen is unusable due to the fact that is looks old and rather dirty.
